Best Song Survivor v2: Pop era

[Axver]

Please vote for your FAVOURITE song(s).
The top SEVEN songs from this era proceed to the 1990s Semi Final.
(Slow Dancing '97 is the version with Willie Nelson.)

Welcome to the Pop era round in Best Song Survivor v2! The object of this game is to find Interference's favourite U2 songs. Each album will be featured in a single round with the non-album tracks from its era. The amount of finalists from each era is based on seeding from the latest U2 Album Survivor. These rounds will last 24 hours and will be multiple choice polls where you vote for your favourite tracks (within reason). A suggestion is to vote for the amount of tracks that will proceed to the next round, although this is not a hard and fast rule.

Only original U2 songs with official studio releases will compete. Please vote solely on the basis of studio tracks. Songs with multiple versions will be listed separately; remixes will not, so if you favour a remix over the original song, vote on the basis of your favourite.

In the Zooropa era round, Zooropa came out on top, closely followed by the best performance so far of a non-album track, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me.

Please see the Passengers round for Achtung Baby's results.

Also good choices!
!

But Slow Dancing 97 I've never heard. Off to listen to it now...

 

[LemonMelon]

There are only a handful of people who genuinely prefer Slow Dancing w/ Willie Nelson over the original. I am one of them.

 

[intedomine]

Just hope Discotheque, D'ya Feel Loved and Please get through...

 

[Axver]

I can't decide whether to vote for NASOTR or not. It fluctuates in my estimation. I'll hold onto my vote until I've decided.

Besides a possible NASOTR selection, my vote will be:
Do You Feel Loved
Mofo
Last Night On Earth
Gone
Velvet Dress
Please
Wake Up Dead Man

Oh yes, and I should also give due consideration to I'm Not Your Baby ...

 

[intedomine]

North & South Of The River - 7 votes! You gotta be kiddin' me...

Poor man's Take Today in my opinion.

 

[God Part III]

Discothèque and Mofo

Well, NASOTR isn't doing much for me right now, but INYB is good stuff and deserves to do much better than songs like Slow Dancing '97 and Two Shots, so I'll throw a vote at it as well as the above seven.

Here's hoping Discotheque, SATS, and Sweetest Thing '98 all miss out on finals berths.

Where's the Holy Joe love? Such an awesome song.

 

[stagman]

damn you guys fail.... Miami is awesomeness!!!11111 Needs more votes!111

 

[phanan]

Wow, only five votes for I'm Not Your Baby.

I hope that is simply because some people haven't heard it. One of their best songs from this period.

It's criminal that it's level with Slow Dancing '97 and losing to songs like Miami and Sweetest Thing.

 

[digitize]

Aww damn, I give up. I voted for every album track and North and South of zee River. I love every track on Pop too much to choose.

I just pray that Please does better than it did last time. That is one of my top five favorite U2 songs, possibly in the top two or three (it's hard to say).

 

[SamuelSmeloc]

Do You Feel Loved, Mofo, Gone, Please, Wake Up Dead Man and North And South Of The River.

i had no idea anybody actually liked it. it sounds like everyone involved is asleep, like the studio version of bad.

It's just a different mix. All the Best Of mixes are covered by this:

Only original U2 songs with official studio releases will compete. Please vote solely on the basis of studio tracks. Songs with multiple versions will be listed separately; remixes will not, so if you favour a remix over the original song, vote on the basis of your favourite.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

It's just a different mix. All the Best Of mixes are covered by this:

not to mention if the 90-00 new mixes were used, they'd likely be in the atyclb era (or wherever electrical storm is being put). imo.

 

[Axver]

I put the remaster bonus tracks with their respective eras, since that was their origin, so if the new mixes were separate, I think I'd probably put them with their originating eras too. But it's a moot point because I don't even see a reason to include alternate mixes separately.

And come oooonnnn Wake Up Dead Man, hold onto that 7th place ahead of NASOTR!
